Topic: 1969 Z28 Cowl (Read 10019 times)

Does anyone have some good pictures of what the cowl area paint looks like on a car that came with black stripes? My Z28 is Daytona yellow. I have read that Norwood did it different than LA. My car is a Norwood car. Thanks for the help.

There is nothing there about what the cowl area looks like with black stripes. I'm kind of curious myself since I have about 3 repaints on my Cortez Silver with black stripes car. I'm sure mine is no longer correct.

My camera just recently quit working. I will see If I can get my Nephew to take some pictures tomorrow of mine and post them. My car has the original hugger orange paint with black stripes on the cowl hood and cowl area.

I searched through the pictures as well and there are some decent shots of how the factory brought the black fire wall pant up to meet the body color on the cowl. I am in need of what a properly done cowl area (where the windshield wipers are located) looks like when it is painted as the factory did. People say Van Nuys did it like this and Norwood did it like this but someone somewhere must of repainted their cowl area back to factory specs and possibly have pictures of what it's supposed to look like when replicated from what the factory did...

I think the OP is asking about the top of the cowl area underneath the cowl panel. The white seems to be what is discussed the most, nothing has been discussed about how the black was applied on a black striped car. Also, my question to add is if the wiper transmission was installed before or after paint. My car has been repainted 3 times from what I can tell but the wiper trans still has no paint on it.

another member here has 2 black striped Z's and the cowl tops are both stripe black over the body color, one is a 03E and the other is 05C both NORWOOD.

Here is a before paint of the 03E Olympic Gold carNote the gold paint on the edge, the firewall black stops short of the gold and then the mist on the cowl top from where the black sprayed in the wiper well

Yes the orginal poster would love to see the top of the cowl of a Daytona yellow Z preferabally. The top of the cowl should be yellow and if you follow the picture in the aim manual it shows fine lines where the black out was painted over too the yellow on the cowl. From what I've read they did not use a template so it's fogged?
